On November 1, 1993, 22-year-old Amy Vess was working alone at Dancer’s Closet, a dance apparel store in Arlington, Texas, filling in for a coworker. Between about 6:15 and 6:22 p.m. an unidentified man entered, forced her into the backroom and shot her twice — once in the neck and once in the back of the head. Amy managed to crawl to the phone and dial 911; she told operators she had been robbed and shot, and paramedics found her barely able to speak. She died in hospital the following day. About $200 was taken from the register.

Investigators released composite sketches of a suspect described as a thin white male, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, with sandy blond hair with a reddish tint and day-old beard stubble. Ballistics showed the handgun used in Amy’s killing was not the same firearm tied to the I-70 Killer cases, though the circumstances resemble those other small specialty-store shootings. No arrest has been made and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone who worked near I-35 or visited Dancer’s Closet in late 1993 see a man matching that description or notice suspicious activity that evening?
